C13 The crazy attack of the song army
The first row of Giant Shield Crossbow Soldiers were half-kneeling on the ground, while the second row of Giant Shield Crossbow Soldiers were standing on the city wall. The third row of Giant Shield Crossbow Soldiers were standing on a wooden platform.
When the soldiers of the Song Army rushed out of the siege tower, the first row of giant shield crossbow soldiers and the second row of giant shield crossbow soldiers all shot their own crossbows. After the ten bolts shot out, they immediately killed the seven or eight soldiers of the Song Army who had rushed out of the tower. However, the third row of Giant Shield Crossbow Soldiers did not move at all. This was something that Chen had planned before. After the first two rows of giant shield crossbow soldiers shot out their crossbows, the third row of giant shield crossbows did not shoot out their crossbows like them. Instead, they shot out their crossbows from left to right.
Although they had used the Tower of Attack, the soldiers of the Song Army were able to easily reach the city walls of Pine Leaf City. However, the passageway to the tower was very narrow. Every time, there would only be one soldier from the Song Army who could rush out. This way, he only needed one bolt to kill all the soldiers from the Song Army. If all the Giant Shield Crossbow Soldiers were to fire their own bolts, not only would they waste the crossbow bolts in their hands, they would also stop the attack of the Giant Shield Crossbow Soldiers.
Therefore, after the giant shield crossbow soldiers fired their crossbow bolts, a giant shield crossbow soldier on the left side of the giant shield crossbow soldier would immediately shoot out the crossbow bolt in his hand. However, since the Giant Shield Crossbow Soldiers were divided into three rows, in order to not have to wait for the huge shield to obstruct their line of sight, the huge shield on their backs was taken down.
However, at this time, the soldiers of the Song Army were already entangled with the huge shield and crossbow soldiers. Chen Junlin did not have to worry about Chang Wanguang sending his archers to attack him. Under the constant attacks of the huge shield and crossbow soldiers, the soldiers of the Song Army who had just climbed up the city's siege tower were immediately shot down by the chief of the Crossbow Arrows, falling off the walls of Pine Leaf City. However, these soldiers of the Song Army were under Chang Wanguang's strict orders to not retreat a single step. Although they were constantly being killed by the huge shield and crossbow, none of them backed off.
The soldiers of the Song Army used their siege towers to attack Pine Leaf City. At the same time, they also pushed their assault vehicles towards the city gates of Pine Leaf City and began to use siege hammers to continuously strike the city gates. Seeing the siege vehicles under Pine Leaf City, Chen Junlin immediately ordered the soldiers of the Windfrost Nation to pour the oil of fire onto the siege vehicles.
After pouring the kerosene onto the siege vehicle, Chen Junlin personally threw the torch onto the siege vehicle. The assault vehicles of the Song Army were immediately set ablaze. However, Chang Wanguang had previously thought that the army of the Windfrost Empire would use fire oil to attack. Therefore, a layer of cloth bags filled with dirt was placed on the siege vehicles. Although the oil from the flames ignited the siege vehicles, the fire was extinguished very quickly after the bags were completely burned.
After the flames were extinguished, the soldiers of the Song Army continued to ram into the gates of the Pine Leaf City. The city gates of Pine Leaf City weren't completely secure. Every time a Song soldier used a charging carriage to charge through the city gates, they would immediately shake. Very quickly, the gates of Pine Leaf City began to open as the soldiers of the Song Army rammed against the gates. Chen Junlin knew that the city gates of Pine Leaf City wouldn't be able to hold on for long.
Chen Junlin hurriedly said, "Not good, the Song Army soldiers are about to break through the gates of Pine Leaf City. Cheng Dongxing, I will go down now to stop the Song Army." "Stay here and block the attacks of the Song Army." Hearing Chen Junlin's words, Cheng Dongxing immediately said, "No, the city is too dangerous. It's better if I go." Chen Junlin confidently said, "Don't worry, I won't try to be brave. Since this place is so dangerous, of course I'll leave it to you." "I have made preparations at the foot of the city. I can easily repel the soldiers of the Song Army."
With that, Chen Junlin brought his soldiers and arrived at the entrance of the Pine Leaf City. Over 300 soldiers of the Wind Frost Kingdom were already guarding this place. After arriving at the foot of the city, Chen Jilin quietly watched the city gate shake under the impact of the soldiers of the Song Army. After the city gates were rammed six times, the soldiers of the Song Army finally managed to break open the gates. After the city gates were slammed open, more than twenty soldiers of the Song Army rushed in.
However, at this time, Chen Junlin had already led the army and was waiting for them here. The soldiers of the Song Army were struck by the crossbow bolts of the forty Giant Shield Crossbows that had been waiting for them for a long time. However, even though he was killed, the Song Army soldiers kept charging in. After shooting his crossbow arrows into the air, the huge shield and crossbow soldiers retreated to the back, replacing them were the two rows of soldiers. The first row of soldiers held huge shields in their hands, while the last row held three meter long spears.
These shields and spears were created by Chen Junlin after he came to Pine Leaf City. The giant shield in the soldiers' hands was the same as the giant shield and crossbow, they both used giant doors. The spear in the soldiers' hands was a temporary spear shaft after coming here, which was then equipped with a spearhead.
Although these weapons looked rather shabby, they possessed astonishing power when used. The gigantic shields used by the soldiers of the Windfrost Nation in the first row were able to effectively protect their entire bodies. The soldiers of the Song Army were unable to do any damage to their shields no matter how hard they chopped. Meanwhile, the soldiers of the country of Feng Shuang behind him relied on the protection of their shields to constantly stab the long spears in their hands, killing all the soldiers of the Song Army who were hacking at their shields.
Very quickly, these two rows of soldiers formed a very strong defensive line, making it impossible for the Song Army to break through. At this moment, although the Song Army soldiers were constantly being killed, the Song Army soldiers behind them charged forward without any hesitation. At this moment, a soldier of the Song Army placed the corpse of a soldier of the Song Army on the ground in front of him and charged forward. Although a long spear had been thrust out from behind the shield, the soldier of the Song Army was unharmed with the protection of the corpse.
Soon, the soldier from the Song Army was standing before the shield. He did not slash at the shield with his own weapon like the other soldiers from the Song Army. Upon seeing this, the other soldiers of the Song Army followed the example of the soldier from the Song Army. Putting the corpses of the other soldiers in front of them, they attacked the shield. In next to no time, the Song Army soldiers and the Frost Wind Nation soldiers fell into a stalemate.
Seeing this, Chen Junlin immediately raised his head and shouted loudly, "Those huge shield crossbow soldiers that have arrived from the city wall, shoot at those Song Army soldiers that have rushed in!" Hearing Chen Junlin's order, the soldiers on the city wall immediately aimed their crossbow bolts at the soldiers of the Song Army who were trying their best to break through their shields. Although the corpses of the soldiers from the Song Army could block the incoming spears, they could not block the incoming crossbow bolts. Very quickly, the soldiers of the Song Army were all killed by the giant shield and crossbow soldiers on the city wall.
At this moment, one of the soldiers of the Song Army shouted, "Quick, bring the car and knock that shield away!" Hearing the Song soldier's words, more than a dozen Song soldiers immediately took off the battering ram on the battering ram and rushed towards the soldiers of the country of Feng Shuang with engineering hammers in their hands. Although the shield of the country of Feng Shuang could block the sabre and spear of the Song soldier, they were still unable to withstand the huge battering ram. The soldiers of the Song Army used a battering ram to break through their defenses. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the soldiers of the Song Army behind them swarmed in.
Although the defense line of the soldiers from the country of Feng Shuang was extremely effective, Chen Junlin knew that the soldiers from the country of Feng Shuang who only used huge shields and long spears didn't have any close combat capabilities. Hearing Chen Junlin's order, the soldiers immediately threw away the shields and spears in their hands and fled towards the back. However, when the soldiers of the country of Feng Shuang arrived at the place with the flags, they all jumped over.
The soldiers of the Song Army caught up to them from behind. However, they didn't expect the soldiers of the Song Army would be able to dig a meter-wide trench underground. Furthermore, there were sharp wooden stakes beneath the trench. As long as the soldiers of the Song Army fell, they would die without a doubt. The trenches were only one meter wide, so the soldiers of the Song Army jumped up one by one, wanting to jump over the trenches. However, the soldiers of the country of Feng Shuang would obviously not let the soldiers of the Song Army jump over so easily. On the other side of the trench stood a row of Windfrost soldiers. Any soldier of the Song Army that leaped over would immediately be pierced to death by the long spear in the hands of the soldier of the Windfrost Nation.
At this moment, a soldier of the Song Army shouted, "Hurry, fill the trench with corpses!" Hearing the soldier's words, the soldiers of the Song Army immediately picked up the corpses from the ground and threw them into the trench. Seeing this, Chen Junlin also immediately ordered, "Quick, pour the fire oil into the trench." Therefore, the soldiers of the Windfrost Nation immediately poured the mud that was filled with fire oil into the trench, and the trench immediately burned up, and the corpse inside the trench naturally became the best ignite. In an instant, the trenches were ignited with a huge amount of oil, making it impossible for soldiers from the Song Army to jump over. Furthermore, they could no longer use corpses to fill the trenches.
This was because the more corpses that were thrown into the trench, the stronger the flames would become. Taking advantage of the Song Army soldiers being unable to come over, Chen Junlin immediately shouted loudly, "Quick, shoot the arrows and kill this Song Army soldier!" Under Chen Junlin's command, the crossbow arrows flew out one by one. The soldiers of the Song Army, seeing that they had no way to get past the crossbow bolts and were only waiting to die, all ran out of the Pine Leaf City.
Chang Wanguang, who was watching from the sidelines, was furious that the Song soldiers had managed to escape. After hearing what had happened in Pine Leaf City, he immediately gave the order for a cavalry unit to charge in.
